“These caregivers will be reinstated. In recent weeks, I have brought together all the stakeholders, because I want the reintegration to take place, but in good conditions, “explained the Minister of Health on the sidelines of a trip to the Marne, Friday 28 april. His remarks were taken up in the local newspaper on Sunday. The Briard Country and Monday by The Parisian. “The non-vaccinated are not necessarily expected with flowers in all departments and everywhere,” he said. “The instruction is ready.

“A marginal phenomenon”
Paris had opted for the constraint at the end of the summer of 2021: the obligation to be vaccinated was required from 2.7 million people, caregivers but also staff of hospitals and retirement homes, paramedics, home helpers or firefighters.
Failing to certify a complete vaccination schedule (two, then three doses), a few thousand have since been suspended, without remuneration. “A very minority, even marginal phenomenon” for the ministry, which estimated in March the proportion of hospital agents still concerned, “around 0.3%”. Same tiny proportion on the side of the Liberals, where Health Insurance counted in mid-March less than 2,000 caregivers suspended.
The question of their reintegration had become a political battle horse, in particular for the National Rally and La France insoumise. The communist group put this reintegration on the agenda of its parliamentary niche on May 4. For the minister, “the best thing would be to withdraw discussions on this project, since, as they say, things will be done”.
